Don't try to turn it on for at least a few days... try the rice idea, it may still work. It's surprising how tough they are. Katrina's phone sat in a puddle in the rain overnight and had a cracked screen, it still turned on - even while still soaked - and was able to get calls.

Inside me is a thin woman trying to get out. I usually shut the bitch up with a martini.

Turns out it's working perfectly fine, after I charged it with my boyfriend's charger. Last call was on Feb. 25th, and there is no "home", or mom/dad phone number in the contacts. What's an ICE number?

It's also been deactivated.

Not sure what to do, I assume the person probably already got another one since it's deactivated. Tried to call the last phone number that called, and no answer to that. The sucky thing is that he/she lost the contacts list.

I cannot believe it's probably been in a snow bank for over a week, rained on, and still working. They make these things very sturdy.

Really, that's something that everyone should put in their phone. Most people have their phones on them all the time, and if you're in a car accident the EMTs/Police/whomever have no idea who to call out of a contact list of dozens.

You still want to give it some time to completely dry out. Taking the battery out and letting both battery and phone sit in rice will be better for it long term, assuming they will re-activate it for you.

I never thought about this, going to work on that now. It's something totally obvious but I never really thought about that.
